Index to Matrix 1-21 is an invaluable key to any search of the series. It also contains a list of contents of each issue, and an introduction by the indexer describing the development of the series, which has on the face of it remained remarkably consistent during its twenty-six year history. The Index is uniform with the series. The format and binding style is the same as Matrix 1 – 21, and the extent is about the same as Matrix 1. It is indeed an indispensable part of it. Typographically, it follows the layout of the Index to Matrix 11-15 which appeared in Matrix 15.
